Falcon reports

Brian H reported seeing no falcons on 5 Star overnight.

See Carol Ps Falcon Watch report under Blogs.

A few weeks ago it was reported that a new male was courting Aria and Indy was MIA.  Sadly CPF has posted that his body has been found in Mississauga.  Indy (or Indie) was named by watchers up here to honor his birth home as he was not named at banding.  He was born in 2013 in Gary, Indiana.  Fly high Indy, you were a good mate to Aria and a great dad to your offspring.

The new male is Equinox, a 2014 hatch from our Canada Square site.

Post and photo of his body on CPF Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064583174251

Thanks for letting us know Carly. Fly free Indy! ♥️

Rainy morning here in Rochester, currently 45 degrees F



2 falcons on the Wilder chimney?



End of day



Falcon reports

For those wondering, 5 Star bank puts lights up on 2 sides of their bldg in the shape of giant Christmas Trees.

Overnight report from Brian H.
I have one falcon in sight that I can see. ESE ledge at corner under railing. They have the tree lit up on bldg now till New Year's Day. I'm guessing,  the bird's up there. They have lights where it usually stays on window ledges.  That's just my take on it.

5am rort from Brian H.  
1 Pefa on east side window ledge. Tree goes dark at midnight or 1 am. Other bird's not in sight from here..

Happy Thanksgiving!
